The Van Wert City Garage is located in the same building as the Street Department.  In the City Garage, two mechanics operate the "fix it shop," which is not limited to metal work and welding.

The work of these two employees probably varies more than that of any other municipal employee.   For example, one project may be as simple as sanding the rust off an old meat locker and repainting it for use as a police evidence locker.  The next project may entail rebuilding a large engine, such as the one pictured with this fire truck.

The workload of the City Garage also includes the repair of lawn mowers for the parks departments, routine service of police cruisers, and the repair of accessories on various city equipment.
